The Decline of Lake Superior\u27s Woodland Caribou: A Historical GIS Analysis

open access: yes, 2022
Lake Superior’s woodland caribou have been declining since the early 1800s. This thesis asks: why? We hypothesize that as settlers expanded into the region, industrial development in woodland caribou habitat reduced woodland caribou persistence. Using an

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.
